Kenny Chesney Tour Dates Include Charleston, SC

By Karen Coombs

There's little doubt that Kenny Chesney has made his mark as a country music superstar. After his debut album, "In My Wildest Dreams", was released by the independent Capricorn Records in 1994, Kenny has gone on to release thirteen more smash albums.

Eleven of Kenny's first thirteen albums were not only proof of his staying power, but were commercially successful, garnering him certified gold from the RIAA. Even though his first debut only sold 10,00 albums from the independent Capricorn Records label, two singles from the album, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes" brushed the Hot Country Singles & Tracks Billboard charts. Unfortunately, within the year, Capricorn decided to no longer publish country music and Kenny had to move on.

Kenny Chesney's amazing career includes four consecutive AMC Entertainer of the year awards, sic CMA awards and more than thirty top ten country music hits.

During the 2007 summer touring season, his tour was the highest grossing country concert series of the year.

Kenny Chesney's hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee is just next to the Smoky Mountains and deep in the heart of the country music, just down the road from Nashville.

During his college years at East Tennessee State, he played bluegrass and recorded a record to sell at his gigs in 1989.

Kenny's success has proven again and again that he's truly a country music star, with smash successes in tour ticket sales and a huge list of number one singles that any musician would be proud of.

Kenny's initial release wasn't the immediate overnight success of some artists, but there's no doubt that he's easily one of the megastars of country after releasing thirteen albums since he signed with BMI in 1992.

Kenny Chesney's summer concert tour this year includes a stop in Charleston, SC on September 12 at the North Charleston Coliseum. Kenny's tour is one of the biggest of the summer with venues across the United States and Canada.

Kenny has had enough longevity and success to warrant two greatest hits albums, the first coming in 2000 and the second in 2009. Although he did not enjoy immediate breakout success, he's proven to be one of the biggest country music stars of the last decade.
